The weekend's sporting action in pictures: Mohamed Salah, Gerard Pique, James Cracknell

by | 7h
We look at the photographs of some of the weekend's best sporting action.

Tiger Roll raced into the history books after becoming the first horse since Red Rum to win back-to-back Grand Nationals and 46-year-old double Olympic champion James Cracknell helped Cambridge complete a Boat Race double triumph.

Manchester City and Watford set up an FA Cup final clash, while Liverpool moved top of the Premier League and Arsenal's hopes of a top-four finish were dented at Everton.

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at some of the weekend's best sporting action in pictures.
